Rania and Max clearly wore their most suitable outfits at the start of the UN General Assembly week. Rania looks like she’s off to a Friday night dinner with friends and Max is wearing the tablecloth!

You beat me to it @Choux😂

I do like Queen Rania’s shoes even though I am sure they are horribly uncomfortable.

I think many of these have been posted before but here’s a ‘UN Royal Round Up’…

Amalia is coming across with much more poise and confidence. I think she’s nailing it there clothes wise, appropriate but still young.
in other news DD thinks Princess Anne might be at her school today. She’s certainly in our area but no school visit listed in her engagements. Anyway DD never holds back so if she is there we’ll get a full and frank review later

Thanks, @Choux , and for the round up, @RomainingCalm .
I'm not keen on Max's dress, but the colours are good. Mathilde's green outfit is a miss, imo. I agree with you about Amalia, she's looking confident and developing her own style. Rania is ramping up the glamour!

Sorry, I don't know why it's posting twice again. Seems to buffer for ages.

There is an issue with Mumsnet website. I had to abandon using it in a browser at all because it was painfully slow and kept freezing and use the app instead which I don’t really like as there are less user friendly features imo 🤷‍♀️. MNHQ are aware but can’t seem to fix it on

Thanks! That seems to be what's happening.

Beatrice was among the royals at the UN but I'm not sure in what capacity she was there. The Yorks do have a way of popping up on these occasions!

Indeed, I would agree with both your points!

Anne has been re-dedicating our war memorial in an army green suit with a bit of red through it. I’m sure we’ve seen it loads but much better look than some of the jarring separates we’ve seen lately. Winter boots are also back out of the wardrobe.

The boots look nice, actually. That's a better look on her with a more fitted silhouette.

This film is about the tiaras QEII didn't wear herself, interesting and lovely to see so much sparkle.

Thanks, @justasking111 . Interesting, I think Cams has worn a couple.

The Alexandra Kokoshnik is a thing of beauty, isn't it? The Meander is definitely Anne's piece, and Zara wore it on her wedding day.

Enough of the glittery tiaras, let’s get back to talking double breasted jackets. This time on Maxima!

It’s almost like an upper class man’s dress down outfit of blazer and chinos. I haven’t spotted a photo of her footwear yet - I hope it isn’t loafers. In the UN roundup her pale turquoise suit was my winning outfit, modern, fresh, well fitting. This blazer ages her by about 15 years. Plus her hair looks stringy and so dry compared to the NY blue suit photo.

How can these photos be three days apart???

Yes, that jacket is definitely the wrong shape, very unflattering. The trouser suit is better.

Max sporting the nautical look, which I've always liked

@Maireas thanks! May this new thread be full of regal sophistication but not a double breasted jacket in sight!

Have we got our next thread title already?! 😂😂
